A Bright New Beginning for T BAR - New Entrance Fees

T BAR, 18-22 Houndsditch, EC3A 7LP

Tbar

For Christmas this year, T BAR are giving all their loyal supporters that have helped them settle in and feel at home in their new location of Houndsditch, 12 carefully selected, beautifully packaged, fun-filled festive gifts. These are of course, the return of 12 Days of T BAR. This will be the final round of parties that T BAR maintains its free entry policy. Commencing from New Year 2010 T BAR will begin to charge after 11pm on weekend nights Friday and Saturday.

Wrong Meeting kicks off the Christmas run in style with British techno legend Andrew Weatherall and the man who stands at the crossroads between glamorous Parisian hype and musical integrity, Ivan Smagghe. If anyone thought this would be an impossible act to follow, the Freak n Chic crew bring to the table Dan Ghenacia with his his distinctive intelligent-techno-meets-deep-house sound and Varoslav, the DJ/producer whizzkid who's worked with the A to Z of young French electronic talent. Baise Main have been getting pretty comfortable in the T BAR surroundings hosting some memorable nights over the last few months and will be celebrating Danton Eeprom's debut album release with Clement Meyer, who is today regarded as one of the best newcomers of the Parisian scene.

Phonica will be bringing the family down to celebrate their 6th Birthday with two rooms of festive fun, including Lauhaus, David Labeij (live) and Phonica All Stars, followed by Shoplifter who are set to throw one hell of a Christmassy cosmic party with Craig Richards and Jamie Jones and a special unannounced guest. For the first time T BAR will be staging a film night, just enough down time before Gay Bingo will be calling a full house with a No Holes Barred XMAS Special. German label Kompakt will be joined by Jennifer Cardini and Melon before Thursday 17th sees the second installment of T Bar's new night, TB/SS, welcoming very special guests MJ Cole and Blakey. High Horse are saddling up and bringing festive gifts in the way of Panorama Bar's Steffi and Tamo Sumo. Konrad Black will be debuting at the new T BAR with his own A Night With... revealing his signature mix of dirty bass threads with atmospheric sounds. Creator of 2020 Soundsystem, deemed as one of the best electronic labels in the world Ralph Lawson will also be treating us to his trademark 2020sound. Finishing off this music marathon are Kubicle with US friends and beloved new residents, Wolf + Lamb, making it a night to remember for those still standing.

This year's 12 days.. truly presents some of the finest gourmet music from around the world and T BAR exercises its free door policy for the last time. So at a time when it's all about giving, we can all enjoy guilt-free partying at East London's best-loved space.

---

Following the 12 Days of T BAR the venue will move to a paying door policy for the first time. Much has changed since the T BAR began, London has evolved and so must T BAR to stay at the top of the game. Thursdays and Sundays will continue to remain free but Friday and Saturdays will charge a nominal fee after 11pm to enable bigger artist bookings and investment in better surroundings. T BAR will begin to stay open later, giving more in return to our friends and extended family. Not the end but a bright new beginning, this step welcomes new opportunities for T BAR and its valued followers.

Capture your moment at T BAR

This photo represents the point my freind and i decided, in the upstairs bar whilst sat on a speaker, that our feet were made to dance not stare at........ We then danced like strippers all night with Dan Genachia, (yes!!! with him as he was on and off the decks all night!) until the end.

Digital City - Tonight

Audio-visual party poppers, Digital City return to the all new T Bar with our unique brand of swanked-up warehouse revelry. And boy, do we return with a treat. When a young producer by the name of Jon Hopkins first played for us, he commuted from his mum’s house in the countryside. This time he returns from Sydney where he’s been playing in the Opera House in a one-off band with Brian Eno and Underworld.


Support comes from Digital City’s resident DJs, BarryDark, Tentonatom and Remote fusing all that is electronic from afro to electro. Flanked by a matrix of projection screens, the visual quality is represented by Big Chill resident VJ, Dr Mo and Parallax. This is a rare (legal) Digital City foray into East London, having started life in the bedraggled penthouse of an industrial tower block overlooking Canary Wharf many moons (and spangled dawns) ago.

Thursday 9th July ELECTRIC IDJUT Unabombers, Idjut Boys 9pm – 3am

Over the past few years, The Unabombers have spread the Electriks vibe across the globe, DJing everywhere from New York to Bangkok to Australia. They also have residencies in Barcelona and Paris. Back home, they've played at clubs including Plastic People, Back To Basics, Fabric, Faith, Bugged Out, The Bomb and festivals such as Homelands, T-In-The-Park and Creamfields.

The Unabombers also brought us the legendary Electric Souls, which started as infamous illegal parties in brothels and lofts, but has now mutated into a large annual event that brings together the cream of the world’s underground dance talent, from Amp Fiddler to Gilles Peterson to Theo Parrish to Joey Negro.

They have also encapsulated their mystic brew on four compilation albums – Basement Soul, Saturday Night Sunday Morning, Electric Soul and Electric Soul 2 - as well as completing remixes for Truby Trio, New Sector Movements, Jersey Street, Calvin Harris and Shur-I-Kan. They are currently in the studio working on their own productions, with an EP due in the summer, and are set to bring a storm to T BAR'S tea cup on Thursday night.

Tonight at T BAR - inhouse

Tuesday 7th July 2009
9pm - 2am
Free Entry
T Bar, 32 - 38 Duke’s Place, Aldgate, London EC3A 7LP






Membership applications at: www.tbarlondon.com


On the 7th July, T Bar will be introducing us to its new bar industry, monthly club night inhouse, which sets to shake things up mid week. Offering a forward thinking club night on a Tuesday, inhouse has a party arsenal of dancing, discounted drinks and a rare chance for you all to take charge of the decks.

In an era where purse strings are so tight they might snap, inhouse have teamed up with distinguished drinks companies, and are offering free membership cards giving discounts on rotating drinks sponsors on the night. Register your details at www.tbarlondon.com to gain membership.

inhouse will be guided by the talents of Gower Ramsey, its resident DJ who is throwing up the opportunity to any budding DJs to drop off their own demos. The entries that tempt his taste buds will secure a slot and play alongside him at the infamous T BAR and soak up some of the DJ glory.

Gower Ramsey is an old and treasured resident of T BAR, who previously fronted the Ditched Disco nights on Fridays in its former location. Playing alongside some of London’s most revered guests over the past few years, Gower is a true tastemaker, playing a spectrum of refined house and techno.

As always T BAR remains free of charge and keeps the action happening until 2am. The next on is due on the 11th August - Tuesdays will never be the same again….

Kubicle

Kubicle at T Bar - Monthly Sundays from 7th June 10am to 6pm


Liz & Sonia (Kubicle girls) "We are delighted to be involved in this new T Bar project. Moving to a bigger space means that musically we can actually program and book DJs in advance rather than our usual "who is in town" policy. This is a great step for us. We have so many fun ideas and quirky antics planned, and now have the space to make it happen. Its an amazing venue we can still keep that "Kubicle" intimate vibe and bring in other projects like our disco room. Now we have great sound quality, a large outdoor area, and can offer a free party. We have got Sunday raving covered!"

Swayzak (Brun)

"I first heard about T Bar as Michael Mayer was raving about it! Since then I’ve always had a great time specifically enjoyed playing Bauhaus to a crowd of saturday night ravers, and seeing Theo Parrish play on a thursday night. I feel its important to keep supporting London and its music culture when so many others have absconded to Berlin. T Bar is probably the coolest free party place in London and I look forward to this new venture"

High Horse

Four London disc-jockeys, Matt Walsh, Casper C and the Skull Juice boys, woke up in a spontaneous cold sweat one night. Sure, they were regularly playing at some of their favourite nights, from Bugged Out to Blogger's Delight, Durrr to Trailer Trash, Wax On, Wet Yourself and all over Europe. But it was time for these young men to find the time and the place for those 'deeper', 'darker' records that all four had been fanatically collecting and compiling for years. It was time for them to mount their High Horse.

From cult beginnings, on a monthly thursday at the legendary T Bar, High Horse has grown into a weekly Friday fixture at the newly relaunched T, just down the road in Houndsditch. The aim of the residency is to assimilate the four disparate flavours that the residents bring, in at attempt to present a broad spectrum of discerning dance music. Guests confirmed so far include the maverick genius of Optimo's JD Twitch, the sophisticated low-end sounds of Dirtybird's Tim Green and Riva Starr, a rare live appearance from deep-house dons Arto Mwambe and a regular showcase from label of the moment, Turbo.

Dance music is going through a transitional purple patch right now, with all manner of new sounds occurring between the cornerstones of disco, house and techno. High Horse is the night which aims to celebrate the new while harking back to the classic. Hop on!

Weekly Fridays 9pm – 3am

work in progress

Jamie Jones (Crosstown Rebels / Freak n Chic/ Various)

"I have so many great memories from the old t bar, from the madness of the monday Stink parties, to some amazing Dig Your Own Raves on sundays. It was the place to see my best friends such as Derren and have a giggle, so I can't wait to reignite that in a totally fresh surrounding."

Dissident

Dissident.london presents Chicago Style - the first in a series of monthly parties celebrating the music that inspires the label.

Thursday May 21st at T Bar:
Dissident artists Andy Blake and Neville Watson in a 6 hour DJ and drum machine session.


It's fair to say that Dissident is hugely influenced by the Chicago house scene of the early 80s, when Ron Hardy was playing all night sets of early skeletal house grooves, warped acid tracks, thumping US disco 12s, weird euro pop and italo disco (including a particular thing he seemed to have for very strange european rap records) and when WBMX and the Hot Mix 5 ruled the airwaves and Alexander Robotnick's ‘Problems d'amour’ was a daytime radio smash. This period in the history of chicago house was a golden era for dance music that has massively influenced everything that has followed it.

Andy and Neville are both massive fans of this wide-ranging early house sound and have the record collections to prove it. As well as wheeling out a ton of original vinyl for this night they will be bringing their beloved Roland tr808 and tr707 drum machines to add to the groove. These two machines form the backbone of the early house sound and it’s only right and proper that they take centre stage in the night's proceedings.

While this night is most certainly a tribute to the warped genius of Ron Hardy and the early Chicago house scene in general, the music will not be any kind of static retro museum piece. As well as loads of music from the era including many amazing pieces of music that are all but lost and unknown these days) there will be plenty of aptly chosen later music including some bang up to date releases and maybe even some unreleased exclusives from Andy & Neville's current solo and joint projects.

As with all Dissident productions, only original vinyl will be played on the night to ensure optimum sound quality and this time the records will be joined by the majestic sound of analogue drum machines booming out from a huge Funktion one sound system.

Casper (High Horse)

"For me, the T Bar always represented the ultimate techno palace. I love the idea of an eternally free venue with a strong musical identity, with everybody sitting, dancing, drinking and socialising on the same level. It was a pure dancefloor democracy. Getting the opportunity to play regularly at T, the name High Horse immediately came to mind, as it represented an opportunity for 4 young DJs to play the deeper, housier, techier and less obvious records that don't always work in lesser venues. Now that we're going weekly in the new venue, we'll truly be able to paint a picture of the music we love for a crowd that should truly appreciate it. Here's to Houndsditch!"

Jonny Rock (The Freaks / Dig Your Own Rave)

"T Bar redefined sundays for me. A place to play your favorite music with favorite friends, to a diverse yet open minded crowd... I can't wait for it to re-unite, from the sound system to the management. Its place of hang out to the teeeeeee"

Simon (Phonica Records)

“The best thing about T-Bar in its old home was the atmosphere. People were always up for a party whether it was a Saturday night or a Sunday afternoon, no one would be afraid to start dancing and enjoy the music.... My memory of T Bar (the one I can remember) was New years Eve 2007/8 with Ewan, Heidi & hector, it's a bit of a blur but I just remember a classic night with "God made me Phunky" standing out....”

Craig Richards (Fabric London)

"For me the original T bar was an utter inspiration - decent sound, free entry. soft furnishings and a wonderful host. I played at one
of the first nights and from this moment on I was shown great hospitality . It was an easy place to be and an easy place to play records, my friends were made welcome, my good behaviour was celebrated and my bad behaviour suffered and at times ignored. I
rolled around on the floor, touched the ceiling, danced till dawn and cuddled other humans. I intend to do the same in the new premises."

Tirk Records (Matty J)

Memories...
"Weatherall and Ivan on a Thursday... Waiting for the Bugged Out! Birthday afters to start, sat on a door step... That late night Monday, Stink feeling... The Fabric carry on's. All the best things... great DJs, proper sound, loft type space, lights down low. It felt like a den...







You could tell walking into the new space that something exciting is going to happen there. It had the T Bar vibe perfectly. Always great to see London clubland evolving after recent closures. And rather than running East away from the city, running right into the heart of it. Good luck to Derren and all involved, we are very pleased to be onboard.”

Tirk Records will host bi-monthly Thursday parties at T Bar featuring their family of artists.

Matt Walsh (High Horse)

“T Bar pretty much started my DJ career in the capital... I used to run a night on Wednesdays and was then asked to play on a one off Monday night with Tiga for Bugged Out! It was one of the busiest nights the bar had ever had, with a queue right down Shoreditch High Street. It was a great night for me and because of it I am now a resident for Tiga's label, Bugged Out, and have been producing records for Turbo and DJing across the world with them."

THE RETURN OF T…

Following an ambush of endings in London’s nightlife, we are pleased to announce a bright new beginning…

T Bar’s 5 -year residence on Shoreditch High Street came to a tearful end in December 2008. During its reign it hosted some of the most talked about parties in London and beyond. Showcasing a unique and vast army of talent and all without ever charging for admission.

T begins a new era maintaining this charitable spirit. A stones-throw from its old haunt within the city fringes, T has found a new home. The new chapter will stay open later and offer the full nightclub experience, while still maintaining FREE entry.

T prepares to peer into new musical corners while also bringing back some old friends and familiar faces. Maintaining the intimate and spontaneous vibe of the last episode, T is growing up and diving into fresh territories.

T Bar London launching Spring 2009. More details to be announced soon…
